Review summary

It was a great cruise. Will do this one again when the new ship comes in. We want one that doesn't stay in Cabo San Lucas for two days. Wouldn't mind it if it was reversed. 2 days in PV and 1 in Cabo.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was a breeze for us. No more than 5 minutes. Our other party had 1 issue. They had everything set except for S and sign credit card. They were allowed to board but had to go guest services to take care of it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in the dining room was great. The staff was awesome. We had breakfast and lunch in the buffet area. It was really good. The and sandwich place were good too.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool area was good. The pool areas were divided in two. One side was usually nice and quiet and the other was full of kids. The serenity area was awesome. You just had to be earlt to get hammocks and shell area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They had a band that great. They played great oldies from the 70s and 80s. Frankenstein nightclub was nice. The shows were good.

Our room was kept clean. We were always asked if everything was ok.

Ship tip

Our first time to the Mexican Riviera put the seas seemed pretty choppy. That is why we usually get a room in the middle of ship.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

Used it park our car. That was about it for this port.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
We did this port on our own. It eas ok, but family didn't really get into it. I enjoyed it.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the top 10 of Puerto Vallarta excursion through Carnival. It was awesome. Had a great time. The tequila stop was nice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was very painless. We just waited until they called our number and off we went. No more than half an hour to get through customs.

You can do the same cruise with one day at Cabo and 2 days at Puerta Vallarta. Just check the carnival website and check the iteniary

Just have to check cruise itineraries (or do a search on-line) to find what you want. Good luck.

Just leave from another port we have left from just about every port and been to lots of different locations from Caribbean,to Bahamas,Alaska,Vancouver,Asia next year from Sydney Australia onto Honolulu then to Alaska its very easy and cheap to go to leave from different ports you can only do Cabo or the same ports a couple of times...
